2023 Spring Virtual Session
“FELLOW TRAVELERS IN SHIN BUDDHISM”
with Rev. Jon Turner, Orange County Buddhist Church

Saturday, March 25, 2023
10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Let’s hear about the journey of a fellow Shin Buddhist traveler, Rev. Jon Turner. Rev. Turner was introduced to Shin Buddhism when his family began attending the Orange County Buddhist Church (OCBC) in 1999. Later he joined the Minister’s Assistant Program. In 2010, Rev. Turner graduated from the Institute of Buddhist Studies at Berkeley with a master’s degree in Buddhist Studies and received his Tokudo ordination. In 2017 became a fully ordained Kaikyoshi minister at OCBC.

Our founder, Shinran Shonin referred to his followers as equal companions and “fellow travelers” (Ondobo Ondogyo) in the Dharma. Shinran taught us that, without exception, we are all “brothers and sisters” embraced by Amida Buddha’s Wisdom and Compassion.

The program will explore this unique Shin Buddhist understanding that developed from Shinran’s life experience as a monk and then a lay teacher. We urge all Jodo Shinshu followers (ministers and members) to become fellow travelers and listeners of the Buddha-Dharma.
